    Coupon (R) = 0

    Face value = $1,000

    Years to maturity (n) = 30 years

    Kd = 4.9% = 0.049

    Po = R (1 - (1+Kd) - n) / kd + FV / (1+Kd) n

    Po = 0 (1 - (1+0.049) - 30/0.049 + $1,000 / (1+0.049) 30

    Po = 0 + $238

    Po = $238

    $

    Market value of equity = 73

    Market value of bond (195,000 x $238) = 46.41

    Market value of the company 119.41

    Weight of debt = 46.41/119.41 x 100

    Weight of debt = 38.87 = 39%

    Explanation:

    In this case, there is need to calculate the current market value of bond, which is the present value of coupon and the present value of face value of the bond. Then, we will calculate the market value of the company, which is the aggregate of market value of equity and market value of bond.
